The one I have here is Betty Crocker and calls for 1 1/2 cup water to the packaged mix. Is that considered one or two step because they have four steps printed? Anyway they sell them at our local Wal Mart.

Have you tried making it with the "enhanced" angel food cake mix recipe that many of us use on the BB? It makes the taste and texture so much better. It's the only way I make them anymore and I use any mix I can find.

Here is the recipe you are talking about to enhance a boxed Angel Food cake mix. I have made this several times and I vouch for how fantastic it is!

Review on an old posted recipe - for the new members of the BB - Extra Special Angel Food Cake

(Posted by Tria 3-12-06)

I made this today - have been making it exclusively for my angel food cakes since I first tried the method/recipe. It makes a wonderful cake - tastes and looks extra special. I like to put a nice white confection sugar/buttercream icing and "shadow" that with a bit of bittersweet (or semi-sweet) chocolate melted and drizzled around the edge of the white icing and it "drips" down the sides - looks very pretty and tastes great. I also use any of the one-step angel food cake mixes - they all work well.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes; then reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes.

The above ingredients and two-temperature baking directions will make a higher and more moist cake, without any air holes. I was told to use only the DH brand boxed mix so I don’t use other brands for this particular cake.

I moved to North Carolina and have been doing the same unsuccessful search. As of two years ago Safeway (at least where I came from in Tucson) carried one, in their generic brand. And your mother is right, the flavor is tons better then the one step ones. They don't have that chemical taste, they are lighter, and just a better cake. Anyway, the key is finding a chain that carries a generic angel food mix... and I would love to hear if you find one.
